| - | The [[avant-garde]] art world has made note of the undeniable fact of the ''Mona Lisa's'' popularity. Because of the painting's overwhelming stature, [[Dada]]ists and [[surrealism|Surrealists]] often produce modifications and [[caricature]]s. Already in 1883, ''Le rire,'' an image of a Mona Lisa smoking a pipe, by [[Sapeck]] (Eugène Bataille), was shown at the "[[Incoherents]]" show in Paris. In 1919, [[Marcel Duchamp]], one of the most influential modern artists, created ''[[L.H.O.O.Q.]]'', a ''Mona Lisa'' parody made by adorning a cheap reproduction with a moustache and a goatee, as well as adding the rude inscription, when read out loud in French sounds like "Elle a chaud au cul" (literally translated: "she has a hot ass". This is a manner of implying the woman in the painting is in a state of sexual excitement and availability). This was intended as a Freudian joke, referring to Leonardo's alleged homosexuality. According to [[Rhonda Roland Shearer|Rhonda R. Shearer]], the apparent reproduction is in fact a copy partly modelled on Duchamp's own face. | + | '''Rhonda Roland Shearer''' is an American sculptor, scholar and journalist, who founded the nonprofit organization [[Art Science Research Laboratory]] with her late husband [[Stephen Jay Gould]].

| - | French artist [[Jean Metzinger]], who was influenced by [[Fauvism]] and [[Impressionism]], painted ''[[Le Goûter]]'' ("The Taste", 1911), showing a female [[nude]] drinking tea, which is often called the "Mona Lisa of [[Cubism]]", a movement that the painter was associated with from 1908, and in fact he was influenced by Da Vinci's picture. The influence of the ''Mona Lisa'' goes beyond painting, reaching the film composition of ''[[The General Line]]'' (1929), by [[Sergei Eisenstein|Eisenstein]], who said he was also influenced by the ''[[Madonna of the Rocks]]''. | + | |

In 1963 following the painting's visit to the United States, [[Andy Warhol]] created [[serigraphy|serigraph]] prints of multiple ''Mona Lisa''s called ''Thirty are Better than One'', like his works of [[Marilyn Monroe]] (''Twenty-five Coloured Marilyns'', 1962), [[Elvis Presley]] (1964) and [[Campbell's Soup Cans|Campbell's soup]] (1961–1962). | + | |
